   Minnesota is not the globe and declining temperatures are entirely consistent with a warming planet. Expert data correction by NOAA scientists will actually show temperatures are not declining and that 10 of the last 11 years have been the 10 warmest.

   You see, I too can regurgitate alarmist talking points without giving the matter 5 seconds of thought. I can be a useful idiot too. Where is my grant money?

     What do mean Andy DC—Minnesota is the center of the universe and everything spins around it. –And of course DC is the spin zone, right?

   The -5 C area to the north is becoming a tad larger, which is a bit peculiar for 7 August…

   Here in Minnesota the major newpapers are blaming non-existent RISING summer temperatures over the past decade or so for a decline in the moose population in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and across the northern part of the state. Supposedly, the moose suffer heat stroke (from declining temperatures?) and are too stupid to move further north into Canada as Minnesota warms (or, rather, doesn’t).

     Also in Minnesota, Deer which formerly were in only the northern cooler regions of the state have moved south, and are now like cattle. The reason: because of our farming, we feed them so well.

   Maybe the moose are in decline because of wolves.
